Freedom with such restrictions?

Yes.

I found that the limited choices allowed me greater freedom of having to think about, worry about food. It was great.

However, traveling around the world with my family has made it harder to stay on the carnivore diet. I tried. It usually cost me more money and left me eating only ground meat, for the beef part of the diet. I prefer beef and crave it. Or do I just crave certain cuts of beef (like ribeyes)? I like the way beef makes me feel. However, eating it only in the ground, minced form… ack, not my favorite meal after meal after meal after meal after meal.

I’m still eating a carnivore diet, but it’s crappier than when I was in the United States and ribeyes were easy to come by (i.e., always a store with them on sale).

As a result, I have not enjoyed my carnivore diet as much, but I’m enjoying amazing skin. It motivates me to keep going.

I also feel very well and that keeps me going.

I’m also in fear of what will happen to my waist, skin, strong immune health, digestion, headaches, etc if I start eating plants and/or carbs.

I found ground beef here, and it looks to be grass-fed. The price doesn’t hurt too much, in fact cheaper than grass-fed in the US. I’m not sure what that’s about or maybe I’m not actually eating grass-fed beef. 😳 Language barrier.

Denmark has been on my list of places to visit, because it’s known as one of the happiest places on earth. 😀

Who wouldn’t want to experience that?

In my research of Denmark, I came across a book that mentioned how Danish leave their babies bundled up, in strollers, outside, in the winter, UNATTENDED, while the parents go into a restaurant or cafe to eat.

It was hard to believe. Who does that?!

The parents of Denmark.

It’s true, and I saw it first hand.

(They also don’t lock their bikes either.)

Can we take a moment to think about what this says about the Danish culture?

How beautiful is it that people feel their babies are safe and they can leave them unattended? And, it’s not like the parents are sitting right inside with a window for viewing the babies. There are no cameras outside recording footage that is being featured on a Jumbotron in the restaurant.

No, these parents are relaxing.

Why do parents in Denmark leave their babies unattended outside?

I believe the happiness plays a key part. People are happy. People aren’t kidnapping babies.

Now that that’s established…

Another main reason is they believe the cold weather is good for babies. (I agree in that cold can be anti-inflammatory). They’re bundled up, yes, and the cold surrounding is a health boost. (I’m here in the cold weather and can’t say what they do in the warmer months but I expect they still do it, because what parents don’t enjoy some alone time during meals?)

If I ever have another baby, I’m going to live the first year of its life here in Denmark. 🇩🇰

We have had a couple of VERY cold days, or at least cold for us. We’re used to the hot desert so Denmark in late winter is cold! The past couple of days it was in the 20s and windy! We stayed warm inside, but walking the dogs? Brrrrrrr ❄️ 💨

We are looking forward to sunshine this week with weather in the low 40s. Yay 😂 and we will venture over to the city of Aarhus this week to visit the street market loaded with different vendors of food and beer 🍺(Greg is happy about that).

Kamea is playing with the pugs outside. When you run around outside in the cold, it’s refreshing. That’s a good way to look at it.

I found some meat, and I think it’s probably grass-fed. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Warming up inside with a book, “A Dog’s Purpose” on Kindle. This pug is here to stay.

Selling it all, to travel abroad, takes a fair amount of research and planning. One thing I kept pushing to the bottom of my to-do list was figuring out the cell phone situation.

We had many conversations around options because there were lots of considerations. First and foremost was being frugal about it. After all, we left AT&T last year for TING which we love 💗 -> The slash in our cell phone bill was dramatic. Yes, we didn’t use them as much when out and about, and that was a benefit. Being more mindful in the car, with family, etc because one isn’t always looking at a smart phone is a boon to one’s health and living experience. It made me a better mom. :)

In past years, digital nomads frequently recommended going with T-Mobile because they had a decent International Plan.

SIM Cards are all the rage now.

More recently, people are simply recommending that you land in the country of destination and buy a pre-paid SIM card for that country which should be cheaper than (and easy to do) sticking with your previous plan, like T-Mobile in the United States.
